Senator Risa Hontiveros

Senator Risa Hontiveros on Monday urged the Department of Health (DoH) to intensify its vaccination information drive amid reports that the number of measles cases “tripled” nationwide due to the Dengvaxia vaccine scare.

Senate Majority Leader Tito Sotto said the bill seeking to penalize discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE) equality bill has a slim chance of passing in the present Congress.

The petition for quo warranto filed with the Supreme Court by Solicitor General Jose Calida against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is “an assault” against the Senate's integrity and democratic processes.

Senator Risa Hontiveros reminded President Rodrigo Duterte that dictatorships are “fated” to “collapse beneath the weight of its own contradictions,” as evidenced by the People Power uprisings which ousted two presidents.
